Guehi nears Manchester City move
Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi is poised to undergo a medical with Manchester City on Sunday, signaling the final stages of a £20 million transfer, according to reports.
Personal terms agreed
The 25-year-old England international has already finalized personal terms with the Premier League champions. City initiated discussions with Guehi earlier this month, prompted by injuries to key defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias.
Close call with Liverpool last summer
Guehi, who was out of contract at the end of this season, had been on the verge of joining Liverpool last summer. The Palace captain has since become a pivotal figure at Selhurst Park, leading the club to their first major trophy in history with an FA Cup final victory over Manchester City at Wembley.
Guehi's Palace legacy
A product of Chelsea's academy, Guehi has made 188 appearances for Crystal Palace since his arrival from Swansea in 2020. This season, he featured in 33 matches as the club embarked on their inaugural Europa Conference League campaign.
Glasner's departure linked to transfer
The impending move is reportedly the reason behind Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner's announcement on Friday that he will leave the club at the end of the season. Manchester City have already bolstered their squad this month with the £62.5 million signing of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth.
